August 17, 2011 - Drivers, with the exception of street residents, need to stay off E. Flint Street for about another week while repairs and repaving continue, said Lake Orion Police Chief Jerry Narsh. A leveling coat of asphalt is being applied this week between Miller Road and Anderson Street and if vehicles drive on this before the top coat can be applied the fragile concrete base could be damaged and need to be replaced, engineers warned. Assuming drivers comply, all of the work should be completed by the end of next week. Narsh said his officers will continue to ticket drivers who move barricades and drive on the street. He strongly recommends drivers follow the Atwater Street detour through the area.
